Toste, Jessica R.; Logan, Jessica A. R.; Shogren, Karrie A.; Boyd, Brian A. – Exceptional Children, 2023
Group design research studies can provide evidence to draw conclusions about "what works," "for whom," and "under what conditions" in special education. The quality indicators introduced by Gersten and colleagues (2005) have contributed to increased rigor in group design research, which has provided substantial…

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2018
The crisis of education frequently is framed in terms of methods, where quantitative research is accused of making the subject invisible through quantification, whereas qualitative research is credited for the emphasis on subjectivity and the discursive construction of reality. Such formulations fail to take into account a long-standing critique…

White, Mark C.; Rowan, Brian; Hansen, Ben; Lycurgus, Timothy – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2019
There is growing pressure to make efficacy experiments more useful. This requires attending to the twin goals of generalizing experimental results to those schools that will use the results and testing the intervention's theory of action. We show how electronic records, created naturally during the daily operation of technology-based…

Pustejovsky, James Eric – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Methods for meta-analyzing single-case designs (SCDs) are needed in order to inform evidence based practice in special education and to draw broader and more defensible generalizations in areas where SCDs comprise a large part of the research base. The most widely used outcomes in single-case research are measures of behavior collected using…

What Works Clearinghouse, 2015
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Standards Briefs explain the rules the WWC uses to evaluate the quality of studies for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. Attrition (loss of sample) occurs when individuals initially included in a study are not included in the final study analysis. Attrition is a common issue in education research and…

TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2014
Evidence-based practices (EBPs) are supported as generally effective for populations of learners by bodies of high-quality and experimental research and, when aligned with stakeholder values and practical needs, should be prioritized for implementation. However, evidence-based practices are not currently available for all learner types in all…

Schneider, Barbara; Saw, Guan; Broda, Michael – AERA Open, 2016
Forty years ago, the National Center for Education Statistics initiated the national longitudinal studies program in response to congressional concern for policy-relevant information on school-to-work transitions. This program has grown substantially, and not unexpectedly, questions have arisen about its usefulness and present operation. This…
